Automatically connect SMT pads to power planes
This video show you how to automatically connect SMT pads to power planes.
Manual Routing PCBs with Snap to Pad
The video show you how to manual route a PCB track and ensure the final segment is horizontal/Vertical or at a 45° angle to the target Pad.
Routing with Copper Pour Regions
This video shows you how the new routing using copper pour areas will work in AutoTRAX DEX. It demonstrates manually routing a VCC net that connects three pads in the copper pour region. You will see that the integrity is maintained and you are guided to valid targets during manual routing.The end result is that a net has been correctly routed and maintains the electrical connectivity are defined by the schematics for the PCB project.
Manufacturing Your Printed Circuit Board
This video show you how to plot your AutoTRAX DEX PCB artwork, output files for a CNC cuttter and how to zip up all the Gerber files, Bill of Materials file, NC drill file and pick and place file for manufacturing. It also show you how to preview the Gerber files.
